You'd never get a job in the NBA with thinking like that!
The whole 2-good-teams-in-one-division drives the reason wild cards.
Oh,> that, and $.
You want $? You could have more postseason play with fewer teams in it.
We're talking 8 teams qualifying out of 32. Seed those 8 into 2 circuits of 4, and have them play round robin in each. Then a 1-game showdown (Super Bowl) between the champions of each such circuit.
That's 3 weekends of 4 games each, followed by the final -- 13 postseason games. Compare that to the current scheme, in which you have 12 teams entered, but they play only 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11 games total.
